Topic of Choice #4 The Trail

The trail also has taught me a healthy respect for the power of creation and shown me how powerful my God is. On one of my trips in upstate New York, I experienced being on a a bald peak as lighting struck the top as well as being between a full grown female black bear and her cub. Before this, I had a bit of a romanticized view of nature. But after seeing how close to death I came with the lighting and the bear and realizing that I had virtually no control over either of these two incidents and that my life was completely out of my hands and in the hands of God. I learned to have a healthy fear of God on that trip.
